发明名称 METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SENSING A CURRENT FLOWING THROUGH AN OUTPUT INDUCTOR OF A PWM DRIVEN CONVERTER
摘要 A device generates a signal representative of a current flowing through a load inductor of a converter, the converter having a first transformer including a primary winding driven with a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage signal. The device may include a sense inductor magnetically coupled to the load inductor, and an integrator configured to integrate a voltage drop on the sense inductor and to generate a first signal representative of the current flowing through the load inductor with an offset. The device may further include a second transformer to be magnetically coupled to the primary winding of the first transformer and generating a second signal representative of a current flowing through the primary winding, and a peak detector configured to sample and hold a peak value of the second signal at every cycle of the PWM voltage signal. The device may also include an adder configured to generate the signal representative of the current flowing through the load inductor as a sum of the first signal and the peak value of the second signal.
